Stage 2

Pontassieve → Consuma (Passo della Consuma)

Distance
18.1 km
Elevation
+1340 m

Difficulty: hard

Difficulty is computed, not judged: distance in km plus 1 km for every 100 m of climb. Up to 18 is easy, up to 28 moderate, above 28 hard. It doesn't account for terrain, heat or exposure, so read the route's own note too.

A constant uphill track takes you from vineyards into the forests that will be your setting for the next five days. Today's climb is to the top of a saddle of mountains that separate two sections of the Arno River. Although about two-thirds of today's walk is on pavement, the often-spectacular views over vineyards and through forests to the green mountains of the Central Apennine range make this an enjoyable stage.
